SeekPieNo, *you* have a problem
Just came across this in all - what are the qualities you look for in a mouse?
The qualities I look for are the numbers 5, 0, 2. In that order
I’ve heard of keyboard enthusiasts, but not mice. Just trying to understand the qualities of mice where someone wants five or whatever.
I figured lol, I just felt like being a smart ass
Good shape, not too heavy and preferrably wireless. The XM2we has been my favorite, though I’ve had it for only a couple of days.
None with the 12 button thumb pad? I was reluctantly convinced to buy one and have never looked back since. MMO mice are the best mice for all gaming.
Really? I’m far too lazy to customize it, so I just use a Microsoft Intellimouse Pro, and it works really well. Then again, I don’t play competitive MP games, so I don’t need a lot from my mouse. I got annoyed at replacing mice, and this has worked flawlessly for a few years now.
The only thing I wish it had was horizontal scroll, but every mouse I’ve tried with that sucks in some way. I have an MX Master 3 at work, and I keep hitting it on accident, which does different things depending on the application (e.g. volume in Teams). I have a Logitech Triathlon in my home office, which I honestly prefer, but the horizontal scroll isn’t smooth so looking at spreadsheets kinda sucks. But I absolutely like the thumb button way better than the MX Master (work computer is a Mac, and it’s way nice for switching desktops and whatnot).
But for my personal computer (Linux), nothing annoys me less than the Intellimouse. I prefer wired on my desktop, otherwise I’d probably get another Triathlon for it.
My keyboard doesn’t have a numpad, but my mouse does. It’s super convenient for typing in verification codes while one hand is holding my phone to read the number.
